The season is officially over for the Pittsburgh Panthers men’s basketball team.
Pitt fell to the No. 21 University of Virginia Cavaliers 75-63 on Wednesday night in the ACC Tournament to end the season on a low note. The night before, the 14-seeded Panthers started the tournament with a narrow 61-59 win over the tournament's No. 11 seed, Georgia Tech.
“We’re very disappointed,” head coach Kevin Stallings said after Wednesday night's game. “Congratulations to Virginia. They just played ... Read More

In the midst of a dismal season, by no means were the Pittsburgh Panthers expected to defeat the Georgia Tech in the first round of the ACC Tournament. Especially because the last time the two teams played, the Yellow Jackets easily handled the Panthers, 61-52.
But Tuesday night, winning is exactly what Pitt did, beating Georgia Tech 61-59 in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated. (The Panthers led by 11, at one point.)
It wasn’t a pretty win by any means, but Pitt got the job ... Read More

Seniors Michael Young and Jamel Artis are easily the best players on the University of Pittsburgh men’s basketball team.
It’s hard to dispute. If there’s been one consistency for the Panthers in their dismal 2016-17 basketball season, it’s that Young and Artis always tend to lead the team in some sort of category. It could be points, rebounds, assists — or even steals.
Young, a forward, has scored a team-leading 617 points thus far in the season (an average of almost 20 points per game), ... Read More

The Pittsburgh Panthers lost their final regular-season game to the University of Virginia on Saturday by a disheartening score of 67-42.
For Pitt head coach Kevin Stallings, it was the same old story.
“We failed to guard their penetration, and that gave them some of their threes as well,” Stallings said after the game. “Offensively, we could never generate enough to keep it going, and, at our place, we hit shots and could sustain the times where we didn’t. Today, we were not able to do ... Read More

If the Pittsburgh Panthers had any glimmer of hope for making the NCAA Tournament before their game against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, it’s now officially gone.
Against Georgia Tech on Tuesday, the Panthers lost their third game in a row, 61-52. Meanwhile, the Yellow Jackets managed to snap their two-game losing streak. The win was important for the Yellow Jackets, who have a glimmer of a hope of making the NCAA Tournament.
“I believe (with) eight wins in the ACC, how do you not be ... Read More

After losing Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team has now made it two losses in a row after falling to the No. 8 University of North Carolina Tar Heels, 85-67, on Saturday.
After the game, head coach Kevin Stallings lamented the loss, while also providing his sympathies to the team's seniors, who were honored before the game.
“It’s disappointing, obviously,” Stallings said. “I feel bad for our seniors. I certainly didn’t want them to go out in this fashion. They’ve ... Read More

The Pittsburgh Panthers men's basketball team pulled off a huge upset Saturday, defeating the then-No. 17 Florida State Seminoles. However, the Panthers' taste of victory didn’t last long.
Wednesday, Pitt headed to North Carolina to take on Wake Forest University, and the Demon Deacons defeated the Panthers, 63-59, in their home stadium. After the game, Pitt head coach Kevin Stallings kept it simple with his single post-game quote:
“We played well enough, we were in position to win, we ... Read More
